Bayes with ordinal data
Hi all!
As Bayes is assuming normal distribution of the residuals, I would also assume that it should only be performed on interval scale data, therefore having the same assumptions as its frequentist counterpart (which is often said just that way, I just never found the requirement written down that the data should also be interval scale).
- Can I also rely on the Bayesian ANOVA results if my data is ordinal?
- I have my DV labelled as ordinal in JASP - am I right that this is not considered when I perform a Bayesian ANOVA? Or does this change the procedure to a rank-based analysis?
Thank you guys for always answering all these stupid questions and for bringing JASP to the world.
Cheers,
C

Dear C,
>Can I also rely on the Bayesian ANOVA results if my data is ordinal?
The same issues apply as for frequentist inference.

Correct. Ordinal ANOVA would be a good project to do, but it has not been done yet.

Thank you!
